A variation of McShane's identity for 2-bridge links

Geometric Topology 2014-11-11 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We give a variation of McShane's identity, which describes the cusp shape of a hyperbolic 2-bridge link in terms of the complex translation lengths of simple loops on the bridge sphere. We also explicitly determine the set of end invariants of SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb{C})-characters of the once-punctured torus corresponding to the holonomy representations of the complete hyperbolic structures of 2-bridge link complements.
